Oh an owl when I was a kid an owl like this beauty flew in my bedroom window and sat on the

stairs going from my room. I called my brother he captured it and put in a cage and then let

it out .

Since then I love owls. We have one around here. He has huge wings spand and he flys swift.

I am so amazed as how they turn the end around.

Nice take. Oh Andy I am loss as what camera you use. I use a Kodak camera which I had asked for as hubby bought me a dock to set it on after I take pictures . So I do not have to think running out . My first camera got stolen on a cruise. So then my daughter had bought me and her hubby this one I mentioned. I do like it as it is tiny. I can slip in a pocket or carry it.

I went for a walk yesterday and took opne picture of lake as I passed but sun went in but stil

l nice and then second picture to our friends quaint place for tea and cake. How can one stay slim.

So yes I meant what I said about your picture taking. For me to learn all the wonders on a

camera . I am not a picture savvy like you Andy. Plus your a real trooper to go everywhere to

get your fab shots. Your an early bird like my hubby even though he is retired. He can not

sleep in. He is up at 6 o'clock. I am up at 7 in week and sometimes real late Sat morning.

What a magnificent specimen! Was this young man from a bird-rescue organization? He seems to be telling people about the owl. Oh, wait, if I squint I can see "Centre for the Conservation of Specialized Species" on his shirt. Question answered.Super photo, Andy, especially the feathers. Great detail.K
